Overview

The workshop is intended to bring together and facilitate discussions between theorists working on various phenomenological aspects of the Standard Model and New Physics. Topics include high energy unification of quark and lepton matter, the origin of fermionic flavors, and approaches to strongly coupled quark systems in QCD.

The participation is by invitation only.

Venue

BelicaThe workshop will take place at the Belica agroturism in Brda, a Slovenian wine-growing region extending over the state border with Italy.

Please check the map to see the location.
